In New Zealand, there was beauty almost everywhere I looked. This example of beauty is named Kendra.

Jeff and the owner of the Accolade Hotel in Rotorua, who got a kick out of Jeff's use of the Chinese phrase "Can Kui" in deflecting a compliment. He wanted to get a photograph of us with that word written down to remember the encounter.
